One of my favorite quotes is, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for life.” Today in order to teach a man to fish, you need two fishing licenses, a state boat sticker, OSHA approved life jackets, EPA approved weights and hooks, you pay a park fee, obtain a fire permit to cook the fish and an EPA permit to dispose of the waste. Thanks to the government, fish you catch costs 8 times as much as the fish you purchase in the supermarket, caught overseas.

Consider the following:
The Lord’s Prayer: 66 Words;

The 10 Commandments: 179 Words;

The Declaration of Independence: 1300 Words;

U.S. Government Regulations on the Sale of Cabbage: 26,911 Words; and

U.S. Income Tax Code - simplified: 1,607,000 Words.
